Just bare in mind that the projector they show in most of the video is actually the HX350T, while they reel off the specifications for the HW300T.
The HW300T can be seen when all 3 projectors are lined up on the table. The first one on the left is the HS201, the second is the HX350T, and then the third is the HW300T.

This could be a critical issue as many video processors or native HD output devices such as Directv receivers output 1280x720. This will force the LG to do a 1280 to 1200 conversion and cause a decrease in picture quality.

So which is it? The LG is 1200x800 or 1280x800?

Well, on the LG HX300G, which i own and is native XGA 1024x768, whenever displaying native 16:9 content obviously you get the horizontal "blanking" bars above and below the image and i find that either 4:3 or 16:9 native material is displayed superbly without any uneven scaling.
Granted that i am watching material that has already been processed by my A/V preamp which uses the outstanding Reon HQV video processor, but i remember out of curiosity after receiving my HX300G i checked a recent review of a LG HDTV done by Home Theater Magazine that uses the same in-house video processing; That magazine does an excellent job reviewing and commenting on current video processing offered by A/V processors both state-ol-the-art and midrange, and wouldn't you know that current LG video processing results were right up there with the best, both on digital and on analog domains !
That was quite a welcome surprise; One of these days i've been meaning to connect my portable dvd player to the HX300G by means of its "lowly" composite input just to see what kind of picture i get, bypassing everything else, my A/V preamp, HDMI input/output, etc, just out of curiosity, again !

I'm really hyped to see The new LG HW300t and the Vivitek Qumi 3d LED projectors .avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1304775&highlight=qumi

I just wish these companies would get all there info and specs right. I personally believe they are using the same Texas Instruments brand new DLP 16:10 ratio chip. How else could LG claim real HD without it. Since LG Canada can't even get the right model in there promo video , I think someone messed up huge.

And since the Vivitek Qumi is 3D ready thanks to the DLP chipset and "DLP LINK" from Texas Instruments, why hasn't LG claimed there HW300t is also 3D capable. If you notice on Vivitek's web site .vivitekusa.com/v_display_content_detail.asp?category_id=71&subcategory_id=422&product_id=201 they also claim there projector is "Brilliant Color" another Texas Instruments badge.
Are all these features built into the one and only pico 16:10 DLP chip, or is Vivitek spending more money to add these "aftermarket" parts?

Since the LG HX350t is capable of 300 lumen on there old 4:3 ratio screen one would think that the New LG is capable of that too.
I'm really hoping that the Qumi and the HW300t are using the latest Luxim LED power and DLP optics making them identical in that regards, ie:


vs. LG's flawed info


Here's me hoping LG really is slow when it comes these things. Do you remember waiting for the HX300 to hit the USA.
I understand its still early but damn No official product page , decent CES video's , price , or any concrete info.

The Qumi is comming out in 3 months. Toss me us a bone LG !

Cables,
If it is mounted higher than me the screen is too much up and other ways I would hit it.
It doesn't look good if something is coming down in the centre of the room that is more than the half of the room height.

The tripod isn't a solution too because of the cables in front of my couch!

Does someone know if it's possible to buy an old projector that doesn't work anymore, put out the lens and install it in front of the HW300T?
